National sports charity StreetGames has appointed Capella PR in a year-long contract covering media and social media relations.

Capella's brief is to raise awareness of the benefits of StreetGames' Doorstep Sport Clubs, which range from StreetGolf to StreetDance, and takes place in communities across the UK. As well as targeting national, regional and local media, Capella will also run StreetGames' social media properties and assist with its internal and external communications via its website.
